Thanks for the help everyone. I switched over to the Forte compiler and it
handled the paths. Now I have a new problem which I will start a new thread

For posterity's sake here's the configure script:
#!/usr/bin/sh
OS=`uname -r`
ARCH="sun4"
SOFTDIST_DIR=/usr/dist/share
PACKAGE=libtiff
VERSION=3.8.2
PREFIX="${SOFTDIST_DIR}/${PACKAGE},v${VERSION}"
ZLIBS="${SOFTDIST_DIR}/zlib,v1.2.3"
JPEGSRC="${SOFTDIST_DIR}/jpegsrc,v6b"
CC="${SOFTDIST_DIR}/forte_dev/bin/cc"; export CC
CXX="${SOFTDIST_DIR}/forte_dev/bin/CC"; export CXX
./configure --prefix=${PREFIX} --bindir=${PREFIX}/${OS}-bin.${ARCH}
--libdir=${PREFIX}/${OS}-lib.${ARCH}
--includedir=${PREFIX}/${OS}-include.${ARCH} --mandir=${PREFIX}/doc/man
--with-zlib-include-dir=${ZLIBS}/${OS}-include.${ARCH}
